Protists

After wrapping up our chapter on bacteria and viruses, we are now discussing protists.  Students are often very unfamiliar with these little creatures.  For the past couple days, we have been talking about protists and how they are classified.  We have also been in the lab viewing microscope slides with protists.  The students seem to really enjoy viewing the different shapes and structures that protists have!

Tomorrow, we will be finishing up our Plant-like Protists Lab by looking at several of the protists we discussed in class today.  Students will be looking at Euglena, Diatoms, Dinoflagellates, and other interesting creatures.

There will be no homework over the long weekend!  I hope everyone enjoys being off Monday and Tuesday!  :)
